The information we (did not) had at the time was not that he was injured. My point was that I understand why he is not in the squad as he reported for training at the same time as:
- Garnacho
- Mainoo
- Bruno
- Dalot
- Lisandro

No degree in rocket science was needed.. but thanks anyway.
Welcome mate.
Sadly, I don't think Shaw is ever going to be a regular again. I think he bursts himself to try regain match fitness and probably plays when he's not fully ready. I think he's probably the best LB in the league, when fit. Suffered a horrible injury and don't think he will ever fully recover from it. Shame!
This is my post before the injury update when we had information that he might miss the game:
Yeah, as the poster above says, unfortunately we didn't need any super knowledge, it's basically just statistics at this point.
Good player but I think there's something with him that Jose noticed and didn't like. I think he is too soft.
In football you're pretty much hurt all the time but should be able to play. I have a feeling he's hurt a lot and consideres himself injured.
Long term we should replace him. You can't count on him and that has been crucial for us over the last years. We need someone that can play at least 80% of the games.

And I’ll add that it’s a shame because he is genuinely top tier when fit and firing.
we should just continue with Dalot at left back even when Shaw comes back
He's taking the piss. Playing in the Euros for England and then being injured for the start of the season. We need to be rid of him. How long has he got left on his contract?
Was there any update about him in the pre-match conference?
It will be in two-three weeks no doubt that his injury is worse than they thought and that it will take a while.
He's as likely to return fit for the projected date, as he is to pick-up another injury or setback.
Could be a huge mistake to rely on the return of this lad.
Next year hopefully guns blazing for Theo Hernandez.

Needs to be sold, just can't rely on this guy.
Nobody's buying a sick note on high wages.
He's back in training, on call of duty.
When does international duty resume? Perhaps then he'll recover from his ailment
I'd like to think he'd do the right thing and retire from international football.
I'd have to admire the sheer nerve of the guy if he turns up for England next week!
He would not care about the optics. He is a millionaire, who is protected by his contract. He is the first choice left back for England, and he will never retire until this is the case.
The club should absolutely not allow it.
The club can not forbid him to go. It's mandatory for the club to release the player if the FA calls him. I just hope he won't be so daft. If he is, I want him gone.
I doubt he will be called up. There is no obvious replacement but these are pretty low profile games for England that it's not worth any risk for any party involved. If anything it at least gives England the opportunity to have a proper look at other left back options as Chilwell and Trippier haven't featured at all this season as well.
Dan Ashworth has connecs in the FA. He could chat them into selling him to Wales (and replace him with Chilwell)
haha funny comment.
I know he's had bad injuries but I'm beginning to question whether he's just not up for top level football and I mean this with no disrespect. When fit he's one of the best LBs in the world.
Shaw reminds me of this old metaphor; The same boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg.
John O’Shea was a potato. Shaw’s legs are fragile as eggs, but the only hard boiled drama he has been involved in was Moreno butchering him for PSV under Van Gaal, and Mourinho slaughtering him for United under Mourinho.
Will he be back sometime in September? I thought original reporting was around the first international break.
With Shaw you can always add at least 3 weeks to his estimated return.
We will see him up and running around Christmas?
Yeah, statement 4 weeks ago:

Ten Hag said:
Andy Mitten said at the time that it was a minor strain but it was agreed between the club and Shaw that they'd intentionally be overly cautious, and Shaw would likely be training 'in days' (4 weeks ago) and would do a gradual ramp up - basically an individualised preseason - to make sure he's at full throttle for immediately after the first international break.
The reality? No sign of him having trained at any point.
Good to see him get minutes today.

I'd laugh if it wasn't so close to the truth.
Its time to get rid of Shaw and bring in a younger player.
Hilarious stuff.
That’s Rooney fyi not Shaw.Good to see him get minutes today.
He was being sarcastic
Reckon we should have a poll for when he plays next? I’m going mid November.
Quality player but another perma crock on big wages
How is that possible that he was injured for the whole season, played some minutes in the Euro, and back to injured again when the season starts? I mean, he was injured but he isn't even close to the squad, right?
I'd say it's unbelievable but it really isn't. I like Shaw but LB is a priority in the summer.
I thought we expected him back after the international break as the injury "wasn't serious"?
Is he even back training?

Beyond sick of it, get rid at this point.
